but this time~
sis went crazy by asking mom the recipe to do yam cake as she wanna try in nex time..
so on the night b4~
mom call her fren~asking for recipe!
the ingredients tat u nid is~

a biji of yam~
ugly looking but is tasty~

a bowl of siu yok and slices of pork~
siu yok wil make the yam cake taste even better~

this is the chopped salted lobak~
this is to make the yam cake taste salty~
the fresh 1 is even better than the packet 1~
this is the fresh version
which is in light yellow
whereas the packet 1 is in light brown colour~
which i find it is too salty~

the onion and garlic~
some dried shrimp~

and a packet of rice flour~
the making of yam cake~~~
first~
cut the yam into cubes~
make sure tat the size are almost the same~

finely chop the onion and garlic

soak the dried shrimp~
and then put them into the pounder~

slightly pound the dried shrimp~

heat the oil in the kuali~
make sure tat the oil is hot enough b4 putting the yam cubes in it~

fried the yam cubes til it become golden colour~

mix 2 tablespoon of tapioca flour and 1 whole packet of rice flour together in a big bowl~


this is how it goes..

2 table spoon of tapioca flour wif
1 whole packet of rice flours~
add in 4 and a half bowl of water~
mix thoroughly~

after mixing~~~

then~
fried the chopped onion, dried shrimp,salted lobak, slice of meat
add in the salt and pepper~

add in the ready-fried yam cube~
FRIED EVERYTHING TOGETHER~!!!

pour in the mixture of flour tat u mixed juz now~
turn to the small fire~
cook everything till it become starchy~
( i noe it looks ugly )

spread some oil all over the bowl~
this is to prevent the yam cake from sticking on the bowl~

this is how it looks like b4 goin into the wok to steam it~

steam the yam cake for 30 to 45 minutes~
hehehehe
stil dun look 'pretty' after all~

wait til the yam cake turn cold b4 cutting it..

garnish it wif some fried onion,slice chilies ,slice onion~
do not forget to put some onion oil on it..
to moisture the surface of the yam cake~
the yam cake is ready to serve~

a little bit more dried shrimp~
to make it taste even better
